Recommended: The differences between the important beliefs of the monotheistic faiths

What is your perspective or feelings about the other monotheistic faiths?
Moses: If it is what people want to believe, then let them believe in it. Everyone has a different opinion on religion.
Jesus: I agree with Moses because it is your faith. You are your own person and you should be able to believe in whatever you want.
Muhammad: I think that everyone has a right to believe in whatever they want, but sometimes they are growing up into a household that already has their religion picked out for them. So sometimes they have to go with the flow on their religion choices. What is the holy book of your faith and how does it compare to others?

It is a mix of the Bible and the Hebrew bible. What types of internal differences and divisions exist within your faith?
Moses: In Judaism, we have things called food taboos which is basically like "food rules". Like we can only eat one thing but we cannot eat another.
Jesus: In Christianity, we have Sacraments. It is a ceremony of the church that basically celebrates Jesus and the life he gave.
Muhammad: In Islam, I am considered a prophet of God. Like i came from God to help out and things of that nature. How are the basic beliefs of your faith similar to the other monotheistic faiths?
Moses: All of our religions have like an afterlife opinion. Meaning, we all think that there is something that is going to happen to all of us after we die.
Jesus: We all have commandments. Commandments are the rules of religions and if you break them, you are sinning against your faith.
Muhammad: One main reason we are all similar is because all of our religions are monotheistic. You have other faiths that believe in multiple gods or beings. But us, we are happy with just one God. How do you see the leaders of the other religions?

The beginning of the Jewish religion and the creation of the world is told throughout the Tanakh or the Hebrew Bible. And the Jewish teachings are known as the Torah.
